Courteous staff and easy check in. Roomy cabin (14), but there was a distinct smell of burnt wood (from the fireplace). Location is ideal if you want to visit the nearby parks or trails.

Room was pretty clean and they brought us firewood for our fireplace every night we were there:) really liked that it was quiet and private. It wasn’t too fancy but it was really comfortable and enjoyable and they provided the essentials I must have my coffee in the morning and it was provided as well as a fridge for our travel snacks. Best part is the park access! Half of us camped out at the Pfeifer campground and half stayed at the lodge and it was really nice to be able to do that.

The location of the Lodge was perfect, we are already planning to go again. Room was spotless, loved having bottled water and electric kettle for morning coffe, this was a plus for me. We had dinner at their restaurant, I ordered a burger an it was great. However my husband's was subpar, he had the chicken and rice plate, it seems they were short staffed on the resturant and its understandable that things will take time, but in terms of quality there is room for improvement.
